Christ the Teacher in a dark frame under non-glare glass. Often titled “Christ Pantocrator” which means “Ruler of All,” Christ the Teacher is one of the best known presentations of Jesus in Byzantine iconography. While holding a Gospel that declares, “I am the Light of the world,” Christ blesses the beholder. His halo includes the letters “I AM,” symbolizing His divinity and referring to His words, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” The Greek letters “IC” and “XC” in the upper corners of the icon are abbreviations of the Greek words for “Jesus” and “Christ.” *Ships FedEx Ground Only.
